I haven’t used this journal yet, so it is difficult to review. I’m sure when I start using it I will like it.

This is such a helpful resource. I love that NetGalley made something like this and had it open to all users. It took me awhile to want to start doing reading journals but this has got me doing one!

Really nice idea Netfalley! Too bad it wasn’t a physical copy as I am in desperate need of one of those (currently I write down all my books in a notebook!).

From a practicality perspective unfortunately not for me as I track all my books and reading tigress through goodreads. Plus didn’t really like writing a review that I would see. A nice touch though!

This reading journal is such a great resource! I love the tabs for navigation and all the various templates to choose from. The Activities section is a fun feature and seems like something I'd use.

Possible areas for improvement:
- I'd like to see more options for the "My Bookcase" pages—the ones provided are cute, but I could see myself wanting an option with more books and fewer items on the shelf.
- I also would have liked for the User Guide to be a part of the reading journal, perhaps as an appendix, so I didn't have to download two separate PDFs.
- I would also like the option to choose between a couple different colorways if that would be a future consideration.

This is a very useful and complete reading journal. It may seem that it has many things at first, but it is important to remember that there is absolutely no obligation to use every single thing. Having said that, I realise that it may not be enough for people who want to track even more things, but you can always add more pages yourself if you need more things. There are a few notes pages at the end that can be duplicated and added throughout the journal. Also, there are linked tabs for quick access to each month and to each section.

The only "negative" aspect I can find is that the space for the review may be a bit small if you are handwriting your notes and write long reviews. In this case, it might be better to treat the review space as a space to write some notes and then duplicate one of the notes pages that the journal provides at the end to write your review there. In my case, this space is perfect since I prefer shorter and to the point reviews.

Thank you access to this reading journal. I think includes all of the elements I am looking for in a reading journal to track book I have read, reading goals and books I hope to read soon. I love the idea of utilizing a digital reading journal to track my reading, but I personally I prefer a physical reading journal to write with pen and paper.

I love this planner! It makes tracking my reading super easy. I love how simple and clean it is and it looks gorgeous on my ipad.

Whoever thought of creating this book journal need to be kissed and hugged, because this is simply amazing! Very user-friendly. I love printing some of the pages out and use it that way, as well on my Samsung notes. Higy recommend.

I am pleased with the layout of this reading journal. But I don't know how to add my reads to the ebook version. SO i printed off some of the pages. Maybe I am missing something on how to use the ebook version.

This is a beautiful review journal and I really love the aesthetic. You guys over at NetGalley did a great job. Send my love to the artists and designers.

This was really nice! I didn't end up using the journal specifically, as I prefer a physical reading journal, but I took a lot of inspiration and ideas from it.

Great book journal ideas! The aesthetic isn't mine so I'm glad I can just pop the bingo chart, challenges, and prompts into my bullet journal and go. It has given me some ideas on how I want to arrange my own journal and inspired some reading that I might not have looked at before. Thanks so much!

This was very nice and I'm sure has it's place for many readers. I am not one of them. I don't have the patience to download a bunch of things and mess around just to write a review that only I will see. Thank you for thinking of us, though, NetGalley!

Great resource for keeping track of books and getting them organized. I liked how it was interactive and you could click on the tabs to jump to certain sections. Looking forward to exploring the sticker options. I feel like this would be an awesome printed binder or book. This took time and effort to organize and put together and I'm very thankful for everyone who put their hands in the project. it will be a great resource for everyone!

I usually shy away from digital journaling but this one is organized in a very easy and helpful way, so I will be using it on my iPad. Thank you!
